About Dubrovnik

We have covered some of the most beautiful and romantic cities in Europe, from Prague to Budapest and it's time Dubrovnik was added to the list. Falling in love with Budapest was easy especially since the city is so comfortable with its past - a trait which we believe Dubrovnik shares with Budapest and perhaps some of our other favourite European cities like Prague. When you throw in the natural beauty that surrounds it, it's hard not to be a little bit captivated. With a predominantly Mediterranean climate, Dubrovnik weather is near perfect with about 75% sunny days and warm seas almost all throughout the year. July & August are perfect for sunbathing while Jan is perhaps great for travelers wishing to escape the harsh European winters. This little guide will cover just a few of the highlights shared by locals and travelers like us. Perhaps they would be useful for you as a starting template to exploring the city.

We bought a one day Dubrovnik card online for 170 Kunas (it is cheaper online) which gives access to the famous city walls, public transportation and several other museums and art galleries. It was a good deal compared to buying individual tickets for the sights and bus tickets.We climbed on to the famous city walls followed by some art galleries and a fort. The bright sun warmed up the city and the Adriatic sea glistened with various shades of blue, green and purple . Boats, ship and kayaks of all sizes passed by. The views were breathtaking from the city walls. Topped off the day with a concert in the evening at the Fransican monastery.Below are some shots from the city walls
